"Years..."
"No, not Years, not Time..."
In the borderlands of the Celestial Myriad Realms, a being slowly opened its eyes and wearily rose.
It was Taiyi.
'This Transcendent Trait is far beyond what I imagined... But that's fine. At least what I planned has come to pass.'
He supported his shattered Physique, glanced sideways at the still-slumbering Lu Xuan, and a calm smile appeared on his face as he muttered to himself:
"I lured you here to take this complete Transcendent Trait. I could awaken thanks to the remnants of the last Era, but what about you?"
The smile on Taiyi's face widened. Without another glance at Lu Xuan, he dragged his exhausted body straight toward the Chaos.
'And so, the grand design is set. Once my injuries have healed, I'll guide you to awaken. Then I can sit back and watch the tigers fight. You'll battle Fu Xi for your life, and I'll be the one to profit. Everything is under my control...'
'No, it's not enough. This fire isn't big enough.'
